2027 to 2028when most of the projects we list are due
This is a renters' market as much as a buyers'. DLD puts gross yields at 8% to 9% on studios, 1-beds and 2-beds. The district is largely built, with more than 60 finished projects on the DLD register, so you can compare a new flat with a ready one. The gap is wide: the median off-plan 1-bed sold for about AED 1.15 million, a ready one for about AED 700,000. Every project we list starts at a studio. There is no metro, so you will drive.
The big open spaces here are for sport: a golf course and a stadium. For a lawn and a playground, our map shows 5 small parks within 1.5 km in a straight line and 21 within 3 km.
The Els Club golf course
18 holes, 1.3 km
An 18-hole course 1.3 km from the area centre in a straight line. Samana Golf Views and Condor Golf Links 18 take their names from it, but a name is not a view, so check the floor plan.
Dubai International Cricket Stadium
Match nights
The stadium hosts international matches. On match nights, expect traffic on the roads around it.
Qesad and the small parks nearby
From 1.1 km
The nearest park on our map, Qesad, is 1.1 km away in a straight line, and Farfar and Halfa about 1.3 km. They are small, but there are many of them.

Is there a metro in Dubai Sports City?
No. The nearest station, Jumeirah Golf Estates on the Red Line, is 5.6 km away in a straight line, and Al Furjan 6.2 km. Most people drive, and you will want a parking space with your flat.
What will an off-plan studio cost in Dubai Sports City?
Every project we list here starts at a studio, from about AED 585,000 at Fairway Residences to about AED 1.17 million at AUREL1A Residence, with half starting at AED 750,000 or less. Prices were checked in November 2026 and change as units sell. In DLD data for the year to September 2026, off-plan studios sold for a median of about AED 764,000 and ready ones for about AED 475,000, and studios rented for a gross yield of about 9.2%.
When will the new projects be finished?
MAG 777, Binghatti Haven, Condor Golf Links 18, Samana Golf Views and Fairway Residences had handover dates between December 2025 and September 2026. Those dates have passed and may be out of date, so ask the developer. The other projects we list are due in 2027 and 2028. The DLD register shows about 25 projects under way here, on average about 40% built, so expect some building work nearby.
How far is Dubai Sports City from Downtown and Dubai Marina?
Burj Khalifa is about 18 km away in a straight line. Dubai Marina is much closer: the Dubai Marina tram stop is 7.9 km away, and JBR beach, the nearest beach on our map, 8.9 km.
